Mac Mini M2 Display Port 1.2 to Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) I was trying to connect my monitor, a Philips 278E8QJAB via Display Port 1.2 to the Thunderbolt 4 using a USB - C cable (https://alogic.co/usb-c-male-to-displayport-male-cable-ultra-series-4k-60hz-space-grey.html) It is not sending video signal to the monitor. When I connect the monitor via HDMI to the Mac Mini along with the USB-C cable to the same monitor I can see the led indicator on the USB - C turned green and there is video signal even I pulled off the HDMI cable. Not sure what went wrong.

What model is the ViewSonic display?

What USB-C to Display Port cable did you purchase?

Have you tried using the on ViewSonic's On-screen Menu to select Display Port input?
